Rob Hollander outlines key issues facing digital designers in 2013, including a focus on responsive web design for various device sizes. As mobile usage increases, designs are trending toward simpler layouts with bold typography and large buttons to facilitate tapping. New web fonts are also improving the user experience. Additionally, designers must account for high resolution retina displays and scalable vector graphics to maintain image quality across devices.
